Yep, I have a plan - I know right - weird I never have a plan - Dad says "When are you coming to visit?" and I say oh I don't know whenever - he loves to plan - he's notorious for it but me - I rarely plan (well except at work off course - when I always have a plan.)

So here is the 2015 PL  plan inspiration for thick came from Ali Edwards whom is and probably has always been my favourite scrapbooker and a post that I saw on her website linking to a blog by Leslie ann Harvey that you can read here

Before we begin let me say my plan does not involve any 12x12 pages - I am not a fan, find them too big - yes I often scrap in 12x12 but that is more out of habit and lack of supplies 13 years ago when I first started - the reality is - it is really only the last 5-7 years that you have been easily able to get different sizes - to prove that I have a falling apart A4 Coral Coast album from before that because it was absolutely all I could find. So to internet shopping(read international) I say thank you for the choice.

And because of international shopping (oopse internet) I am using 9x12 - at the moment though it is waiting in a new school album that I have  for my girls - it is Navy Blue - I love it but I am guessing since most of my PL albums are black that is what I will choose although white and clean slate are seriously tempting.

And because I have a bunch of left over page protectors that is what I am using - most of them originally 12x12 cut down and sewn shut if needed. (because my sewing machine only works on paper and plastic).

I decided ages ago that since I had a bunch of page protectors left over with vertical photo slots I would try and use some of them this year - BH design w was my favourite this year but rather annoyingly it was only sold in packs with x, y and z.... so you'll see them featured. And yes I am starting a campaign for w in packs by itself - or at least all the same direction page protectors (e.g all 4x6 and 3x4 pockets not 6x4 and 4x3)

So here is some of what I pulled out:
And of course some design H/ design A cut down.

Title page:

I started  with design Z to make my title page:



I loved how fun and easy to use the title page protector was to use  so I decided to keep going and use that style protector with my plan. (And yes for the record the 2015 is a photograph of the stamp that I converted and cut with my silhouette - my work around.)

The Plan:

Section 1 

Comes straight from here - exactly the same because I love it - the monthly title page - similar to what I ended up with last year.

Section 2

Also straight from Leslie Ann Harvey's post down to the same pp for now- well mostly I love it but it is the only part I haven't really though out.

Section 3 

Now here's where it gets a bit different, I decided what was important to me was a brief highlight of each week - similar to the journalling cards I did in PL this year - since I love that and across a year stuff can change and these events may not find there way into section 4 or 5.

Section 4

And then we are back to Leslie Ann Harvey's post similar to her section 5 but I may have used different page protectors. Which I think she described as a scaled down version of week in the life but I view it more as a typical week of my project life.

Section 5

And last but not least is the Around here section - based on this story stamp content. You can get digital stamps too here I think it was actually called prompts - I have to say it continues to be my favourite one so far.
And this month most of those pockets will be devoted to my gorgeous niece who turns 3 and just incase you think I am exaggerating:
